Caleb Plant hasn’t been having the best couple of years! “Sweet Hands” Plant fought just two times in the last couple of years, losing the last fight to David Benavidez. Also, how can anyone forget the infamous Jermall Charlo slap fiasco? So, when the former IBF super middleweight champion left a cryptic message on X, it perplexed fans beyond belief. 

In a surprising turn of events, the Nashville native took to X and wrote, “As far as you thinking anything beyond that…That ship has sailed…my suggestion is we go our separate ways until you want to sign a contract…Anything beyond that is just wishful thinking on your end. I was trying to tell you that then, but you didn’t want to hear it.” As the post started circulating on the platform, it instantly gained traction, prompting people to question the meaning behind Plant’s tweet.
